We bring in 450,000 people, a few of them get really successful, then move to the US as Canadian citizens rather than Indian or Pakistani citizens (much easier), a larger but still small number fight their way into the lower rung of the middle class, and a large number either stay stuck working jobs below their skill level, living in bad neighbourhoods, taking long, slow buses to get anywhere and sending their kids to bad schools in order to prop up Baby Boomer real estate values, or else have to go back home worse off than they left. It’s a Ponzi scheme.

It’s not good for our society, and it’s selling them a false bill of goods.

“RBC; they explain the immigrants are younger and better educated than Canada’s domestic workforce”

so why are there so many international students from china and india coming to canada to study if their education is better?

Canada is a very expensive country to live in and its hard to start with nothing.

Ontario’s debt has nothing to do with immigration.

You are so right about the Colonialism.
But, don’t forget, that Canada was built with the immigration of people exploited from other countries.

Immigrants to Canada are attracted by the social system, reasonable pay, free health care.
The income however is dwarfed by the expense side of “Living”. Rent, food costs, medication costs outweigh any benefits.
The MYTH EXPLAINED as a warning to IMMIGRANTS
1.Expenses in The metropolitan areas of Canada eg Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal is unaffordableWhether you rent a 2 bedroom apartment or home at around 3,000 dollars..or want to own an average home..where an annual income of 180,000 Canadian dollars is needed..few immigrants, even skilled ones can afford.
2. Inflation above 6%, but salary adjustments annually of 1-2%, makes the dollar buy less each succeeding year.
3. High cost of entertainment , sports events, or sporting and outdoor activities, makes quality of life in beautiful Canada an elusive desire..where the wealthy can afford and the immigrants cannot experience
4. Overcrowded subway systems, new inefficiencies and Transport costs whether public or private increase each year, coupled with crime, shootings etc on the rise..so much for Toronto The Good
5.Gridlock on the highways and ways with poor road etiquette, increasing rudeness and unnecessary aggressive driving, makes road a danger with road death tolls to both vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians on the rise
6, Declining Health care system, now resembling a 2 nd world system..long wait lists, crowded ER, and an increasing 2 tier system making quality healthcare..a heretofore .. “ carrot” dangling to attract immigrants and foreigners and industry..much less appetizing
7. Non descript immigration of unskilled labour and an over- abundance of refugees compared to planned immigrants, that drain the health care system and the social security system. 1 skilled and needed worker..bringing in parents, grandparents, extended family, that take more from Canada’s socialized system..than contributes. essentially this extended family.continues to live in the homeland ..whilst drawing on the social benefits, health care system for the chronic disease management…..
This is eroding the social fabric AND Social systems of Canada.
Human beings are more self centered, less generous, more greedy, less caring…
